This is the way my mom used to make scalloped potatoes, when I started making them I just developed my own way because it is so easy. When ever I make them everyone goes crazy over them, especially my husband. This is how much of everything that I put in but you can come up with your own variation if you have a different size casserole dish. REALLY GARLICY (that is how I like it, ifyou don't use less).
